Hi there! This is a good start, and I can see that you are using the line of action in your drawings.

Some things I would suggest would be to draw the lines in one fluid motion instead of several small lines. Draw large long lines with confidence and this will increase the fluidity of your figure drawings!

Try making long and confident lines. Lines drawn in one motion are better than many small lines stitched together to make one whole line. Practice drawing timed figures in 2 min or less to help you make fast decisions in order to improve line quality! This may seem daunting at first, but just try to capture the general motion of the figure.

Studying anatomy and muscle/bone structure will really help in figure drawings, so make sure to also practice breaking down the muscles into simple shapes.

Make sure to keep your hands relaxed and don't overthink the pose too much! Start by capturing the general feel of the pose.

You're doing well so far, so keep up the good work! :)

Hey there! Hope this isn't too late, but I have some points to help you with your figure drawings :)

- Strong and confident lines. This is particularly important in figure drawing as lines drawn in one motion are better than many small lines stitched together to make one whole line. Practice drawing timed figures in 2 min or less to help you make fast decisions in order to improve line quality! This may seem daunting at first, but just try to capture the general motion of the figure.

- Mapping of the figure. I notice you don't have many construction lines in your drawings and I suggest roughly mapping out the general feel of the pose and the limbs. As mentioned before, "good" and consistent practice is the key to improvement! To improve on this I suggest drawing lines over existing poses to get a good feel of what goes where.

EXAMPLE:

Start by using lines instead of trying to draw the entire limbs. Start with the spine and try to break it down into simple lines. Honestly, the only way to improve is with consistent practice.

Practice breaking down the body into simple lines and start from there by using timed practices! Good luck on your art journey :)
